Summary: Bronx Bombers!
Review: From Babe Ruth to Derek Jeter this book covers the history of the New York Yankees. Has many unknown Yankee facts included in the book. Would recommned for all Yankee fans and baseball fans in general.

Summary: Pass
Review: Pass on this book. Although not everyone can tour Yankee Stadium and ask any question they like (and get very good answers), I expected a lot when I looked at the table of contents for the first section. Unfortunately, the answers are skimpy and insufficient, especially considering that the subtitle claims to be "the total encyclopedia of the team". Not hardly. The latter section of statistics may be useless, dated or just good for historical purposes. I would pass.

Summary: Excellent Book... but... lots of statistics...!
Review: Really nice book but plenty of Statistics instead of more Yankees history. A great add-on to the stats fan. Great B/W pictures !

Rating:
Summary: Great gift for all yankee fans
Review: This great volume has a history of the Yankees, profiles of great players, stories of great moments in team history, etc. It is loaded with trivia and team records. It also has the complete career stats for everyone who has ever worn a Yankee uniform. Even if someone had a great career for another team, if he briefly played for the Yankees, his entire major league stats are included and the stats which pertain to the games he played as a Yankee are printed in bold type. If there was a fairly obscure player who you recall from a Yankee team years ago, his stats are there. This book is loaded with great information and you will spend many enjoyable hours leafing through it.
